Judy, Good observations about a lot of the students we have in our classes today. You are right about the absence of personal discipline. We should not have to teach this on the college level but we do. I find that I have developed a set of conduct rules for my college classes that reflect the rules of a middle school. (i.e. cell phones, bringing books and supplies to class) I am amazed at times when I think that the students have paid a lot of money to enroll in school to secure the knowledge and skills needed for career success and I am spending time telling them to turn their cell phones off.
